Some Exciting News!

I am so very happy to tell you that I am joining the team at Dies R
Us! This is my first post with them. We will be bringing you some
inspiration every day. Stay tuned, and follow the blog! Being part of
the design team makes me smile all day long.
I am sharing with you a card that I made for someone that needs a Big Hug every day. My sister was recently diagnosed with cancer and this card is for her.

I
started with an Ivory, A2 base and added another panel of Ivory just a
1/4 inch smaller than the base. Next I die cut the window with Memory BoxDistressed Windham Collage.
I did place a piece of acetate behind the window. (This would make a
great shaker card) to give it dimension, I put a panel of fun foam under
that. Then I simply die cut the Poppy Stamps, Stitched Pumpkin Leaves and Emelia Butterfly Trio along with the Devyn Butterfly Trio.
Note: I used vellum for the solid part of the butterfly. I colored the
large butterfly, on the back with a Copic BG75, and added some liquid
pearls too. The leaves were cut from sage green paper, and the edges
were swiped with ink for some texture.

Here is what I used:

Memory Box Distressed Windham Collage

Poppy Stamps Emelia Butterfly Trio

Poppy Stamps Devyn Butterfly

Poppy Stamps Stitched Pumpkin Leaves.

I sure am going to have fun with these dies for the autumn season.

Thanks for stopping by. The design Team will be sharing beautiful inspirations for you all.

This is just beautiful Barbara! I love that design ... in fact, if it's okay I think I will case your design for an upcoming show in May. I think the ladies would really like it! We are so happy to have you joining us at the DRU Inspiration Blog ... can't wait to see what all you'll be sharing! Hugs

Oh, Barb, congratulations for you and for Dies R Us! You will be wonderful, and what a perfect first card! It's beautiful! I am so sorry that your sister was diagnosed with cancer, but I know she will love this "hug in a card" from you and will cherish it and your prayers! Hugs!

First of all, congrats again on your new gig. I'm so happy for you - Dies R Us is a wonderful company. I love your design here. That background die cut is so gorgeous, and it makes the other die cut elements just pop. Maggie will LOVE this!!! You are such a good sister!

CONGRATULATIONS! A wonderful 1st post! I adore your card and I know so won't Maggie! That Distress die is fantastic as are the butterfly ones, amazing they work so well together! This is just beautiful, Barb! xo~
